In the afternoon, we will car pool to the Butterfly Pavilion to practice our photography. If interested, contact Cliff at CliffDeJong@gmail.com or 720-340-9194.

1. Colored pencils (or I have some to loan if needed). The recommended brand is Prismacolor, but other brands are fine. Michael’s and Hobby Lobby carry Prismacolors and many others brands. You only need a small set with the basic colors to start with.
2. I will have fresh flowers to work from, You can bring a reference photo or your own flowers If you prefer.
3. A camera/cell phone camera to take photos of the still-life in case you need to finish at home.
4. Your lunch/snack and water bottle. We will take a 30 min. break for lunch.

6 weeks – 3 Hour Sessions

Week of March 27 – May 1

Mon or Weds afternoons.
Classes are limited.

In this six week class you’ll learn the building blocks to create a successful landscape painting In pastels. We’ll explore the fundamentals of value and composition as well as surfaces, layering techniques and stroke making. We’ll also look at how to work with your own photos to strengthen and manipulate them in order to make a better composition. Discover the pure exhilaration of pastel painting!

Learn techniques on how to create beautiful, realistic-looking flowers! A fun, hands-on workshop packed with lots of tips and tricks.

Everyone loved our October 29th LAG workshop with Anita Jantz. Students learned some amazing techniques and tricks on how to use frisket, pour, and paint with watercolor. We learned a lot, had lots of fun, and went home with beautiful pieces!

Presenter Kathy Kucsan of Integrity Arts will offer a frank discussion about the funding potential of your organization (or project). She will also give you the tools and tricks to present a strong grant application in the fastest, most practical way. Material from Part 1 will inform Part 2, so you are encouraged to attend both sessions (but you are welcome to attend just one). Registration/networking 11-11:30am; Workshops 11:30 – 1pm

Part 2 (November 16) will be a “Grants Clinic.” Using a real-life model for grant review, we will evaluate three different grant applications with a mock grant panel. (This workshop includes pre-meeting homework of reading the mock grant applications before we meet. These will be emailed to you after you register.)

Both workshops will meet in the Conference Room at the Community Foundation Serving Boulder County, 1123 Spruce St, Boulder.

In this Play-Shop, we’ll use simple materials and emboss metal. If you want to make a frame for a picture of someone, (just in time for All Saints’ Day and Dia de los Muertos!) bring a photocopy of your photograph (5×7 or smaller) so we can make a custom shape. This technique is very easy, and yields beautiful results. Cost is $25, including materials, and no art experience is necessary!
